AN: SORRY SORRY for not updating... My friend sorta put me onto this writing challenge. As in writing a trilogy. It's eating up all my time. And I only got to write two chapters... I guess school is at fault too. I have no time to myself these days. School, homework, How I met your mother, Once upon a Time, :P ;) writing, reading HoH (OMG, OMG I read it. It's absolutely fantastic, I guess fangirling after i finish writing), tutor, friends and sleep. I'm tired all the time these days. It's annoying.

Luke took Annabeth outside the shop making her drop everything she brought.
"So Annie, you are here." Luke smirked at her. A completely evil smirk.
"Do NOT call me Annie," Annabeth's voice dripped venom.
"Whoa, Annie, did that guy you ran off with taught you to be a (cuss word) badass. You left your poor husband for him."
"You nearly killed me!" Annabeth shouted.
"Lower your voice Blondie," Luke snarled. "Or do you not know any manners?"
"I am not finished! I was never your wife." Annabeth was satisfied to finish her sentence.
"I was going to propose you. But instead you left me beaten up in the streets and went away with a gang leader." Luke had a look on his blue eyes that would make anyone believe him. Suddenly Annabeth saw his point of view. More likely, the public point of view.
Luke was the boyfriend that loved Annabeth so dearly. But she left him for another guy, a gang leader. Though most people wouldn't know that, Luke was left beaten up. Not that it mattered. She had her friends.
Are they really her friends? Annabeth's pessimistic side asked her. They're only her friends because Percy commanded it. No, it doesn't matter. She will not let Luke tear her apart again
"They'll all know you are a fake. Sooner or later." Annabeth reasoned.
"Never, Chase. They can't catch me. Your hero can't. You can't." Luke smiled a genuine smile, which had the evil in it.
Annabeth's mind flashed to those torturous nights. She couldn't take it anymore. She raised her hand to slap Luke. He caught it midway.
"Heh, you have some spirit Annie. But you were always a weakling. You'll always need someone to protect you. I protected you. Now your gang hero will do it."
Annabeth had enough. She can deal with the beating. She endured them, didn't she? But this, Luke calling her a weakling, no she wouldn't take it. She kicked him between his thighs.
"Ow," Luke groaned and kneeled.
Before Annabeth could run he saw a shadow behind her. Luke had brought his minions to capture her. Before she could do anything she heard a whisper.
"You okay, Annabeth?" Percy whispered. Annabeth breathed out a sigh. It's just Percy. Her mind was telling her.
"I thought you were Luke's minions." Annabeth turned around to face him. Percy was standing in front of him, all flesh and bones. She wanted to hug him, but she resisted the urge.
Luke got up from the ground. "You are the famous Percy Jackson? The one I heard about from my… friends? You don't look like much."
"Really, are you challenging me? I think last time was proof enough." Percy sneered. He came and stood beside Annabeth.
"What are you doing, Jackson? Have you gone soft?" Luke grinned. Percy had a confused look plastered on his face. But he wiped it off before Luke saw it. But Annabeth saw it.
"So, from where are you?" Luke asked with a smile. Like they were old friends who saw each other on the grocery shop, it was stupid.
"Uh, From here?" Percy scrunched his eyebrows. He looks cute, Annabeth thought (AN: Sorry, I couldn't resist putting it. One of my favorite Percabeth lines)
Luke scowled. "You are as dumb as you look."
"Smarter than that, trust me," Annabeth said.
"Oh, Annie, why should I trust you. You left me for a gang leader." Luke said.
"Did you tell him, I'm a gang leader Annabeth." Percy whispered to Annabeth. She shook her head. Her brain was solving the puzzle pieces.
How does he know that Percy's a gang leader? Maybe he searched him up. Unlikely, but possible. Her mind was running hundred miles per hour.
"Look, Percy, we can make a deal. I'll let you live if you give me Annabeth. You don't want her for your gang. She's trouble." Luke said in a business like voice. He's not going to do it, Annabeth thought in a panic. Percy looked angry.
"Who do you think I am Castellan? She's with me. I'm not going to trade her. And you can't hurt us." Percy said roughly. Annabeth sighed. She could've run away, but of course she won't do it, it's cowardly. She'll fight.
"Your choice. I offered you a good deal." Luke shrugged. "Nakamura, Yew kill the boy and take the girl."
A guy with one eye and a short mouse like boy came to attack them with a knife. Percy thought it was good that they taught Annabeth fighting skills. Nakamura came straight to Percy whilst Yew went for Annabeth. Annabeth kicked him in his chest causing him to double up. But Nakamura seemed like a problem. He came straight to Percy raising a sword.
Percy side stepped the first time he got hit. He needed a shield. He found a a trash can on the corner and picked it up. Annabeth came and stood beside him, shoulder to shoulder. (Oh gods, I'm gonna die of all the feels) They looked at each other.
"Two on one. This is gonna be a piece of cake." Annabeth grinned at Percy.
"I'd like one." Percy muttered.
"Oh, shut it." They ran together and charged. It seemed they knew each other's move. Annabeth took the left side and Percy took the right. Nakamura tried to eliminate the bigger threat-which meant Percy-and that was not good idea. Nakamura hit Percy with the sword while he had the shield. Annabeth grabbed him from the shoulders and kicked him directly on his shoulder.
"Ow," Nakamura moaned.
"Wow, you're flexible, Wise Girl." Percy complemented.
"I guess I remember my moves from gymnastics." Annabeth grinned at his sea green eyes.
"ENOUGH!" Luke shouted. Percy and Annabeth both turned to look at him. He looked at Percy straight in the eyes. "You act too smart buddy. Ask Thalia, if she remembers me, okay? And Annabeth, I have my room open. You can come home when you realize how stupid you are being."
"Wha-what does this have to Thalia?" Percy stuttered.
Luke grinned. "Ask her. Annie the offer's open."
"You can go to hell." Annabeth spat.
"Whoa, you're gonna learn one day, spunk is not good for you." Luke turned around and jogged.
"That's the best you can do, Luke? Let your men fight your fights and then run away?" Annabeth shouted at his retreating back. "You're always gonna be a coward!" Annabeth looked at Percy, he still looked a bit shocked.
"Wise Girl?" Percy sounded... vulnerable.
"Hmm," Annabeth rubbed his back soothingly.
"Do you think Thalia, you know, was with him?" Percy asked.
"Of course not. Thalia's nit an idiot, you know." Annabeth looked at her watch. "I think we could finish our shopping and then go back home and let them check our wounds. You got a nasty looking wound on you arm."
"Yeah, we should." Percy got up. And together they walked inside the super store. If someone thought that it was a bit weird to see two teenagers, filled with grime and dust and a bit of blood buying vegetables they didn't mention. Percy and Annabeth shopped and went back to their home.
Leo was sitting inside the garage fixing a car. As soon as he saw them he jumped up. "Aw man, Reyna's angry with—what the hell happened?" Leo looked at both of them. "Did you guys run into a bunch of cops?"
"Nope, Luke." Annabeth explained in a few words.
"You could've called us. We would've gone with reinforcements." Jason said as they cleaned their wounds.
"We handled it pretty well. And Annabeth got to try her moves." Percy winced as Piper cleaned his arm.
"That's gonna leave a scar." Piper muttered.
"Next time, don't you dare try to fight three people on your own! You could have worse wound than that." Reyna screeched at them.
"Yeah, she is right you know." Thalia said beside her.
"Thals, I need to know this. Did you ever knew anyone named Luke Castellan?" Percy asked.
Thalia froze. Nico knelt beside her and glared at Percy. "Why?" Thalia croaked. Piper realized this Luke Castellan is something that broke Thalia.
"It's just... He used to be my... boyfriend, you could say." Annabeth said.
"Yeah, I do. Or at least I used to." Thalia sighed. "I guess you can say we had a friendship with a mutual hatred for my father."
"That's what he said." Percy muttered.
AN: Dun dun dun! :P :P Sorry for the cliffie again. Keeps stuff interesting I guess. Now onto HoH.
*SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT*
IT IS AMAZING.
The whole journey of Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus. Bob the Titan :'( :'(... And Damasen. :( Foes bear arms to the doors of death I thought it was you know Jason or Frank or Hazel sacrificing themselves so that Percy and Annabeth can be saved.
I always kinda thought Leo would end up Reyna. I SHIP THEM SO HARD IT HURTS... But I guess i can see him with Calypso. he actually swore on the river Styx that he'll find Ogygia again. AWWW :') :')
I basically cried during the whole book. MY BABIES ARE GROWING UP. Frank turned hotter. Hazel is a sorceress.
Nico is in love with Percy. Bad for Nico. I always shipped Percabeth! Though some people ships NicoXPercy.
Piper learns to fight. :)))) I respect her.
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD! Nyx comes, They battle Tartarus.
The feels. I can't describe them. :')
they all grew up. I can't wait for True Blood of Olympus. One year.. *sighs*
If anyone read that. whew, you have patience. Anyway. It's 1 am. An hour to go. DO you think I can make it?
REVIEW I LOVE YOU GUYS 3
